Fuck Over Engineering
vinta/hal-9000Use when the user asks what could be deleted or reduced to simplify a codebase, says "simplify", "over-engineered", or wants a repo-, folder-, or file-wide audit for over-engineering — hunts dead code, reinvented stdlib, needless dependencies, and single-implementation abstractions, reports ranked cuts, applies only the picks. Not a diff review and not a bug hunt
At a glance
This skill is for Coding and helps you identify dead code in a codebase, remove over-engineered abstractions, and audit dependencies for redundancy.
